And a Jackie Bradley Homer Boston 17, Texas 5"I like my chances when we get 17 runs. It was just fun to watch the guys swing the bat as well as they did today. When you have breathing room like that, it is nice because you kind of fill up the zone a little bit more and try and get some quick outs." -- The Witty Ryan Dempster Intentional Wallop Boston 6, Texas 3 | Ortiz Strikes Deep in the Heart of Texas"They don't like to mess with Papi late in the game. They stopped doing that. In that kind of situation, pretty much most of the time it's either a walk or something else happens. I just keep my patience." -- David Ortiz on himself LacKKKKKKKKKKKK to the Future Boston 5, Colorado 3Pedro Lackey Strikes Out 12, No Walks, ERA Drops to 2.99 "I've been feeling pretty good.

That's what is so great about this game, you always get another chance. You've just got to keep going. You can't do anything about it... It’s a great feeling. You see us all out there going crazy and ripping each other’s jersey off. It’s fun. It’s a fun thing to do. It’s about winning.

And today it was all over the place and it makes it tough." -- Steven Wright left his catcher in a tough spot This Is How We Drew It Red Sox Rally and Kick Astros, Again Boston 7, Houston 5 "Just a few pitches ended up being a two-run home run and a big double. I threw a lot of really good, quality pitches tonight. That's probably the best I've felt in a while.
